• Fall Shred Day 2025

  • When
    Saturday, November 08, 2025
  •  
    8:00 AM - 1:30 PM
  • Location
    9301 Johnny Morris Rd, Austin, TX 78724

  You can prevent identity theft by properly disposing of personal records and information at Austin ARMA’s Fall Shred Day, Saturday, November 8, 2025. The event is sponsored by the Austin Chapter of ARMA (a not-for-profit professional association and the authority on governing information as a strategic asset) in partnership with Balcones Shred, a trusted document destruction company in Austin, Texas. Drop-off will be held at Balcones Shred, 9301 Johnny Morris Rd. from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
  
  Balcones Shred will accept the following paper items:

  • Papers with personal or confidential information
  • Tax returns
  • Bank records
  • Invoices
  • Receipts
  • Medical records

  Residents can bring their paper records in boxes no larger than 24 inches by 24 inches by 36 inches for shredding. In order for the documents to be shredded, the items must be dry paper in a cardboard box with fitting lids.  All boxes and paper will be recycled.  No plastic bags, hard plastics, electronic media or three-ring binders will be accepted.  
  
  Shredded paper should not be placed in your blue recycling cart at home because it is difficult to capture these very small particles during the recycling processing. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the Shred Day opportunities so that the shredded documents can be recycled.
  
  Monetary donations will be accepted at the event.  Half of all donations will go to the Austin ARMA Chapter and the other half of donations will go to the Operation Turkey.
  
  For additional specifications regarding how all shredded material should be prepared, please visit https://www.austinarma.com/shred-day. Email us at austinarmachapter@gmail.com.
